    Yes, tuna has good fats including omega-3 but mayonnaise has good fat too, especially when it’s made with canola oil (a good source of omega-3 as well).
    Hope you enjoy the recipe!

    This is good made with plain yoghurt mixed half and half with mayo. I also add chopped green peppers, celery and green onions. IF you chop the peppers and celery really fine, kids won’t notice.

    I don’t think Mayo is a “good” fat. I think you mean the Tuna.

    In 2004, the FDA and EPA advised women of childbearing age, pregnant women, nursing moms, and young children to avoid large predator like swordfish b/c of high levels of harmful mercury. They also advised limiting albacore (“white”) tuna to one 6-ounce can a week. No limits were set for canned light tuna, considered a low mercury fish. It’s fine to give white tuna to kids occasionally, but, if they love tuna and eat it a lot, choose the light variety instead.

    Feel free to add any seasoning you like! Salt and pepper is often enough to bring out the flavor. The “dippers,” including tortilla chips and fresh veggies also add a lot of fun flavors.
